Jason Wright is on @1067theFan right now with B&F. Says they chose the Today Show because they are a global brand. They were surprised fans were upset by that but thinks it was the right decision.

Think of the most famous SB winners...does anybody refer to the '85 Bears as the '86 Bears because they won the SB in January of '86? No. What about the '72 Dolphins? SB was won in '73. This is a botch. https://t.co/QgDTD861PA

After bringing on Code and Theory as the external agency partnered with the team on this process, and as I've reported many, MANY times; Red Wolves WAS a 'finalist' and WAS strongly considered.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) February 2, 2022
The Team's legal division put in legit exploratory efforts to assess viability.
All through December and January, the team were in constant anxiety that a concrete and verifiable leak would emerge at any moment, as the number of people who knew the name continued to grow.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) February 2, 2022
Sleepless nights were a common theme, and there were jokes about it.
Finally, while alumni didn't receive confirmation of the new name until recently, Jason Wright kept them involved at every step of the process.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) February 2, 2022
Maintaining strong connections to the past whilst trying to launch a brand new identity is hard, and this was the strategy to do it.
#WashingtonCommanders as a name isn’t bad. But the rollout was. The botched misdirection, clumsy leaks & complete lack of energy & pizazz for the actual announcement of the name on the @TODAYshow are hard to fathom given all of the time that the #Commanders had to get this right.

Jason Wright says there will be a Commanders fight song and it’s likely to be similar to “Hail to the Redskins.” pic.twitter.com/h7uNmFLngl

I asked a @Commanders front office/business source about the varsity style jackets worn by the alumni at the launch.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) February 2, 2022
They said that initially these were not planned to be put in production for sale, but they've been overwhelmed by requests for them.
"They're a hit!"
Will sell.
According to @Fanatics, since launching the Commanders name, they are the top-selling team overall across all sports on Fanatics. The Terry McLaurin and Chase Young Burgundy jerseya are both in the top 5 (ahead of the Tom Brady red #Bucs jersey).

They had 18 months to make it perfect and came up with a marketing major senior project. The only thing that will fix this horseshit is a run of SB wins.

The TODAY show tees up the launch by referring to the ongoing investigations into the sexual misconduct and workplace breaches.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) February 2, 2022
Have to believe that wasn't part of the plan...
The announcement was Doug Williams leaning over with his arm draped around Jonathan Allen and saying "we are the Commanders."

This is notable that Pierre Garcon is pictured in Commanders gear. He has no reason to support this rebrand, since he was not re-signed a free agent and he wanted to return. I salute him. https://t.co/Ofk1fLJ9b5

For those that are looking for a 'smoking gun' to out Snyder - perhaps this might be it. A former cheerleader told @RealSportsHBO that Snyder made "repeated & unwanted advances toward her." Different than another cheerleader accusation. @NFL culture is something else, man. https://t.co/KrZMJQkpLF

After Jim Harbaugh told Michigan he would be returning, a source confirmed to @ChadGraff that the Vikings are planning to make an offer to Rams OC Kevin O’Connell to become their next head coach.

The deal can’t be finalized until after the Super Bowl.https://t.co/mi6qfr368f pic.twitter.com/mvQvIPVLCw
Also worth mentioning: O'Connell and Adofo-Mensah worked together in San Francisco in 2016.

The Vikings saw this very differently and not as a 'slam dunk' as a source put it to me, the way they felt Harbaugh viewed the situation coming into Wed. There was no offer extended. This isn't necessarily a matter of who said no to who, but 2 sides that did not align on the
— Courtney Cronin (@CourtneyRCronin) February 3, 2022
FWIW, I don't gather that there's any bad blood from either side. Just sounds like a difference in expectation from Harbaugh's perspective and from the Vikings'.
